I can never get 4th to squeal and 3rd only when I really work at it. I think it is my 315's - LOL.
Nitrous is a lot of fun.

I don't know about the comments of the tranny breaking from powershifting. It doesn't seem like that should be a problem. Just don't downshift when you meant to upshift or go into reverse when you're moving forward and the tranny itself should be fine. What I do know about powershifting is that it's gonna put some serious wear on your clutch plate and flywheel. Expect to replace the clutch plate and throwout bearing and resurface the flywheel much sooner than you would normally have. I've heard it's a $600-$700 job at dealerships and most shops. It's also one of those things that, when it goes, you're gonna need a tow. The stocker might go 100k+ without powershifting but sooner or later, it's gonna go anyway. Powershifting is just gonna make that alot sooner than later. Of course, you can always use that as a good excuse to upgrade your clutch.
